I'm looking to by a microscope and wondered if it's worth it to spend a bit more and get a USB one,I have a 10" tablet or a 10" netbook I could use it with. I used a friends pocket micro and thought it was hard to use,don't know if they just had a really cheap one. I found this one and it has good reviews. Any thoughts about this or a link to another good one?

those are kind of hard to use to unless you're keeping it on the desktop and looking at whatever it is on a flat surface.

usin a carson zORB, it will do the job and a bit cheaper than that one. Doesn't seem to have quite the range however. That link states the scope is sold out fyi

I've got 4 plants in a 31" deep by 54" wide cabinet and I'm setting a screen in a few days. I thought it would be easier to use a USB one then trying to lean into the cabinet with one of those pocket ones.

I may get both,how do you like the spy scope? Looks quality but not very strong.

the spy scope works very good, you can actually make it several types of scopes by screwing on and off certainly things. in telescope mode you can stand away from your plants and zoom in to see triches, mines is always set for looking at triches close up AND looking for those nasty mites.I've used several small scopes and the spy scope is the one I keep.
